Upon arriv­ing at Oliv­er Hill, be tak­en on a guid­ed tour through the stun­ning tun­nel sys­tem that once played a cru­cial role in Australia’s mil­i­tary defence in World War II.

The area is still pre­served with Rot­tnest’s WWII guns and tun­nels, which com­mem­o­rate its mil­i­tary his­to­ry and our sol­diers who fought to defend the shores of West­ern Australia.

Rot­tnest Island was a key part of the West­ern Aus­tralian defence dur­ing WWII. The island was home to intri­cate secret tun­nels and housed 9.2″ guns to pro­tect against invad­ing Axis forces.

Post-war, the 9.2‑inch bat­tery on the island was saved from dis­pos­al due to the high cost of removal and ship­ping the guns to the main­land. This led to the preser­va­tion of the mil­i­tary arte­facts. Now, this equip­ment pro­vides a look at the rich his­to­ry of the West­ern Aus­tralia defence force and attracts many vis­i­tors to the area every year.

Head­ing east we enjoy morn­ing tea (own expense) at his­toric York, the first town­ship found­ed in the Avon Val­ley. From there we trav­el the Wheat­belt High­way through agri­cul­tur­al towns of Cor­ri­gin and Kon­dinin and final­ly; through out­back farm­ing coun­try – giv­ing a glimpse of Aus­tralian coun­try life. Stop­ping briefly at the infa­mous Dog Ceme­tery; a shrine to man’s best friend and an inte­gral part of farm­ing life. Then vis­it Hippo’s Yawn, a rock for­ma­tion which resem­bles a hip­po yawn­ing. We then break for an Aussie coun­try style lunch at the Wild­flower Shop.

With a botan­i­cal guide we trav­el to var­i­ous loca­tions on Perth’s out­skirts in search of the finest wildflowers.

Whilst the slope, soils and ancient gran­ite out­crops of the Dar­ling Escarp­ment are tra­di­tion­al­ly the ide­al habi­tat and loca­tion to view wild­flow­ers, pro­fu­sion varies dai­ly and is depen­dent on sunshine.

We vis­it loca­tions all around the Perth region where we expect to find the finest wild­flow­ers for you to see and smell, mon­i­tor­ing the progress of wild­flow­ers once in sea­son ensures we min­imise trav­el time. Kings Park is renowned for its guar­an­tee of wild­flow­ers but also areas such as Wire­less Park, Gin­gin and Toodyay are also pro­lif­ic at var­i­ous times.
